Bobby’s Answer

This is a great question, Steve. In fact, Lee Trevino had a similar position, and I firmly believe that you can play great golf from a variety of positions at the top of the back swing. But… is there one that’s better? I explain in today’s video:

Thank you for this video.
I agree and I don’t!
Impact as you know is key and manipulation required from cupped wrist at top to square wrist at impact is harder to achieve than bowed at top to sqare at impact.
When you have bowed wrist at top you can still create lag and all you have to do in downswing is turn, pivot and generate speed.
For me, cupped + lag = open face at impact and slices 3 times out of 5 plus greater inconsistency.
For me and my students.
Thank you and keep up the good work.

I like what I’m seeing and hearing. Can’t wait to get out and starting Laging my club head Swing and focusing on the Impact Zone….it’s minus 12 here today. I’m 75 and still have a short back swing so interested in seeing if these techniques will give me a bit more consistency and length.

Hello Bobby, i have had 17 back surgeries including 8 fusions. My problem is i get very quick with my transition, do to a short back swing and the enability turn. My distance off the tee is between 200 – 230. I am a 9 handicap do to a pretty good short game. Do you have any thoughts on how i can create more distance with limited flexibility. Thank you.

On the DJ subject of his bowed left wrist … what about Jon Rahm’s with his much shorter back swing? Does his power have anything got do with his bowed wrist or would he be as long with a flat wrist?
thx
